Apple iCloud web mail service

[Oliver Peters]

Why is this such an awful system? I frequently log into my Apple e-mail via iCloud on a browser from a work computer. The mail system is the slowest responding service of any of the webmail options I have ever used.

The service has been absolutely glacial for this past week and especially today. Just about unusable and consistently bad, regardless of browser, internet connection, or computer. If you check the status site, all looks normal. But it isn’t.

Same email through the Mail app on my computer or iPad is fine, so this is only via the iCloud web service. Clearly Apple could care less about the quality of service, because it’s been subpar for a long time.

Any suggestions for making this a better experience at the local end?

Anyone seeing this again? All platforms for me on iCloud/Mac/Me mail have become brutally slow since the most recent OS update (11.4). This is across multiple Macs, iPhone, and iPad. It’s seriously a roadblock for getting work done. Anyone else seeing this? It’s never been a good service, but has become useless for me in the past few days.
